I don’t usually do these challenges with a particular person in mind, but I thought I’d try it this time. I like how it turned out, with the exception of the letters. They looked cute all crooked-y until I assembled the card.
I do love these little letters, just not crooked.
Straight would look better, no?
Now I know for next time.
Tee hee.
But I do love this paper, and how handy that it fit with the colors for the challenge this week!
Thanks for stopping by!,

I tried to veer away from the obvious “baby girl card” with these colors …

… but I failed. Baby girl card it is!
I couldn’t resist the cuteness factor!!
You can’t see it very well here, but the pink butterfly is made from the polka-dotted paper in the Sweet Always designer series paper.
Tootle-oo!

I had a hard time with these colors, but here is what I settled on.
I learned a few things with this one: most importantly, that I need a better ribbon variety!!
Watch out ribbon, I’m coming for you … (especially all the new pretty ribbon in the NEW CATALOG coming out Monday! Whoo!)
